Boulders Beach in Cape Town, South Africa, is widely considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, primarily due to its picturesque combination of large granite boulders, white sand, clear waters, and a large colony of African penguins that call it home. Watch these cute creatures frolicking in the water, swim with them, paddle with them, or just enjoy their waddling walk and the beautiful Boulder scenery.

Desert Rhino Camp

The camp has eight comfortable Meru-style tents and a main area that overlooks a sweeping plain that is dotted with Namibia’s national plant, the welwitschia.
Desert Rhino Camp is run in conjunction with the local community and Save the Rhino Trust, so, in addition to guests gaining amazing insight into the ecology and conservation of this area, a portion of their revenue goes to the Trust and its conservation operations.

Why visit Mana Pools?
* Like the Great Wildebeest Migration, the Carmine Bee-Eater's annual migration takes place in Mana Pools. From August to November, they breed in Mana Pools before heading as far south as South Africa for the rest of the summer.
* A richly varied landscape, featuring the Zambezi River, expansive plains, shimmering pans, and woodlands makes Mana Pools an all-year-round destination for bird lovers of many sought-after species.
* Predators & Prey... in October and November, the dry months, wildlife congregates around the Zambezi River and natural watering holes, where the drama unfolds.
* A rugged UNESCO world heritage site. A paradise for walking and canoeing safaris, Mana Pools is a wildlife-rich, biodiverse wonderland that will delight at every turn.
* Mana Pools is a rewarding wildlife destination right throughout the year.
